Living

Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Don't complicate your life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. You have only one life and one chance to do all the things that you want to do.
Kaun jaane... Kal ho na ho.... Just follow your heart today.
Almost everyone dies but only a few really "live".

Its my life

To whomsoever it may concern
"I don't like it when you try to take advantage of me, when you disrespect me, when you are unkind to me. I don't need someone to abuse me verbally, emotionally, physically. I don't need to hear you cursing all the time. It's not that I am better than you; it's because
I love beauty. I love to laugh; I love to have fun; I love to love. It's not that I am selfish; I just don't need a big victim near me. It doesn't mean that I don't love you, but I cannot take responsibility for your dream."
With Regards,
ITS ME


Don't be a victim. Don't endure abuse. Its your life.

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” - Buddha

Nice Lyrics

I don't know much about the context of the song in the film but the lyrics have always boosted my morale
